BLUSTERY DAY IN OCTOBER 2012

After a couple of quite fair days that have allowed many gardeners in the U.K. to actually get out there and get some jobs done in preparation for colder days ahead, we now have a very windy day here on the Pennines of West Yorkshire with the rain lashing down and dustbin lids blowing off.   I've been out and secured what I can and thank goodness that I tied in my climbers some time ago.  I've also turned the outside water off by the inside tap a few days ago in case I go and forget and freezing weather hits before I know it.  The last thing I want is a burst pipe.  I have a feeling that we might be in for another harsh winter with lots of snow - hoping that I am wrong - so getting organised and bracing myself for it already just in case.
